Pigeon Transit is made up of a team of New Yorkers who believe in public transit, and see an exciting opportunity to use crowdsourcing to make it better. Subways, buses, rails and ferries are the lifeblood of any major transit city, but continue to be a source of frustration for daily commuters when things go awry. Pigeon believes it can substantially improve daily commuting with real-time, crowdsourced data contributed by riders for riders.
